- The Netherlands' Eurovision entrant has been questioned by police over claims he made "unlawful threats" to a member of staff, Dutch media reports.
Joost Klein, 26, missed his slot in the show's penultimate dress rehearsal in Malmo, Sweden, on Friday and was not allowed to take part in either of yesterday's two dry-runs after the event's organiser said it was investigating an "incident" he was involved in.
Swedish police say they subsequently questioned a man over alleged "unlawful threats" made against a Eurovision employee on Thursday evening.

This year of Eurovision has just been a dumpster fire
This year?
EBU please be transparant in what actually happened. What happened to innocent before proven guilty??
I just saw an updated report/statement from EBU. He's being investigated by Swedish police for making a threat or threats towards a Eurovision member of staff.
@@RoxanneLavender link?
EBU and transparency LOL.
@@rafadydkiemmacha7543 😀 good point
@@RoxanneLavenderwhy would Joost treahtt someone !! maby she insult Joost before and joost only response to it
Avatros just posted this: We have taken note of the disqualification by the EBU. AVROTROS finds the disqualification disproportionate and is shocked by the decision. We deeply regret this.
An incident occurred after last Thursday's performance. Against clearly made agreements, Joost was filmed when he had just gotten off stage and had to rush to the greenroom. At that moment, Joost repeatedly indicated that he did not want to be filmed. This wasn’t respected. This led to a threatening movement from Joost towards the camera. Joost did not touch the camera woman. This incident was reported, followed by an investigation by the EBU and police.
Yesterday and today we consulted extensively with the EBU and proposed several solutions. Nevertheless, the EBU has still decided to disqualify Joost Klein. AVROTROS finds the penalty very heavy and disproportionate. We stand for good manners -let there be no misunderstanding about that- but in our view, an exclusion order is not proportional to this incident.
We are very disappointed and upset for the millions of fans who were so excited for tonight. What Joost brought to the Netherlands and Europe shouldn’t have ended this way.
Honestly, it sounds like some tabloid paparazzi trying to really get a news story and even a potential payout. He never put his hands on anyone, thus to kick him out of the finale was utterly ridiculous. I feel like the EBU is so out of touch, honestly.
The camera woman assaulted him by not respecting his boundaries. The EBU is twisted as hell. The only reason they did not disqualify Israel from participation is because their biggest sponsor Moroccanoil is from Israel.
Boycott Eurovision Song Contest ❌
I knew it!!!
Everyone should be allowed
According to the Dutch Broadcasting Association, Joost was being followed by a camerawoman from the show. Despite his repeated requests for her to stop filming and leave him alone, she continued to do so. Eventually, he made a threatening gesture towards her, but did not make physical contact, and then walked away.
What kind of gesture?
Joost: "Europapa!"
EBU: "Welcome to the Nexit, sir. I'm sorry."
Today I am sorry te be Dutch.
@@gvdschootwhy?
Might need to update this
why?
@@japanse_samurai9456 Because The Netherlands is officially disqualified!
Get the backing singers to present the song.
So, apparently Joost has not been physical and he basicly didn't do anything but say something and that person was hella offended.
Last Thursday Joost wanted to go to the green room after his performance. It was agreed that no press, videos or photos would be taken. There was a lady filming. After repeatedly asking to stop this, Joost made a dismissive gesture. That's why he was suspended.🤷🏼♂️ @Eurovision
He will not be in the final, the shame. Guilty before the trail. This is politics
this is the nail in the coffin for the eurovision.
There is no question that he intimidated a female employee.
@@hanshomesteading1276 Good. It used to be a fun evening for the whole family but the last few years it has become more and more political.
@@gaynorprice-jones1826 proof of this?
@@gaynorprice-jones1826 Incorrect. There is no question a female employee says she felt initimidated/mistreated by him. Could be totally different from his version. Dont make assumptions pls.
There was an agreement that Joost would not be filmed when he was finished. A camera woman filmed him anyway so Joost asked her multiple times to stop filming. She would not listen and continued. Joost then made an agressive faint towards the camera but did not touch the woman. AND THIS LADIES AND GENTLEMAN IS ENOUGH FOR EBU TO CANCEL HIM. Absolutely disgusting behaviour of the orginisation! Boycot this bullshit!
Just in Dutch news: Joost was filmed by a camera woman after he got of stage in the half finals against the rules and his will. He asked her several times to stop filming which she didn't. Joost made a move towards her camera without touching her. Of that incident has been made a complaint which got him disqualifite. :-S
And just in a Swedish police report it looks like Joost will get convicted for unlawful threat. Seems like Eurovision made the right choice to disqualify him.
This is politics. He or someone from his crew made a remark that didn't land well at an employee of ESF. Even the co- broadcaster said that this disqualification is completely disproportional. This is insane. I hope the fans start a revolt in Malmo
No its not, the law should be followed by all. No exceptions for politicians and celebrities. Thats what differs between us and them.
This is not politics. It’s acting stupidly and breaking the rules or even law.
Rules are rules. For everyone!
He made threats to a female employee
The fact AvroTros is saying it’s disproportionate is quite interesting, since the mediapark already had scandals and lots of training the last 1-2 years about it.
Imagine the hit on their name if he did something scandalous, but since they know what he did and STILL take Joost’s side says enough imho.
The incident happened just after Joost left stage on Thursday. They started filming him backstage. He repeatedly said he didn't wanted to be filmed and when this camera woman kept on filming he attacked her verbally but he didn't touch her. Simple version: Joost said stop, she didn't, he got angry
Double standards, a country who killed 35000 people can be part of the ebu but just a argument vocal is not allowed
Spoken as if the Dutch never massacred in its Asian colonies.
@@cyes5031700Rusia disqualified... Israel, why not?
@@cyes5031700 my brother in christ, if we're going by that logic, just about NOBODY is going to be participating in Eurovision
@@stormfire9612 Yeah, exactly why Joost should stay out of this, because no country is clean, not even his.
@@fernandosm2066 What is the connection between Russia and Israel? Apart from your irrelevant opinion?
Hope the audience will chant his name in protest of this euro- non-vision.
Has Eurovision met its Waterloo..?
With any luck.
Greetings from Netherlands!
Holland Jonguh !
I'm so sorry, this is insane
Hi Netherlands.

@@gazza2933🍻
If it is allegation, why kicking him out. What if it was false!!!
I doubt it is false, but there’s much more to the story they are not sharing. EBU are a bunch of hypocrits only sharing what he’s done wrong and not the rest of the story.
Besides, it seems like a really minor thing to disqualify him for. What exactly had he said? And why? Surely he knows better and wouldn’t just randomly vocally attack someone.
The fact he got kicked out indicates it was not false. Switch on your brain please.
@@jormdewormit had nothing to do with Israel, those were just rumors.
@@user-d32658 as if corruption isn't a thing. Use your brain before asking other's to do the same please.
@@martijn2973 It is at the NPO.
disqualified? Unbeliveble..
Why? He should have kept his mouth shut
Only in Sweden
Why is it unbelievable? Should he be allowed to harass female employees and make threats against them?
@@extrapolateHe asked the photographer multiple times to stop making foto's/film, she didnt comply so whose wrong here?
@@extrapolate no, but is the female journalist that started with harassing him (and him asking her to stop doing so multiple times) led to any consequences? Or are people that have a penis excluded from harassment protection?
The suspect was a man in a blue suit with big shoulders,and a bad haircut.
I lowkey thought he was Oliver Tree for a second
this's actually funny
But are we talking about the same EBU that, starting from the 2022 final, did everything for a year to make Sweden win in 2023, and despite this, if it hadn't stolen Finland's votes it wouldn't have even succeeded ?
Still no reaction from NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg
🤣 Gewoon ff lekker relativeren! Je hebt gelijk!
😂😂😂
He’s disqualified

I hope this is the end of eurovision!
It shows exactly how united Europa really is 😂 ruined by politics
@SV010zzzzzz This may rather be the end of the Dutch artist.
The Freak Show
@@laurentmartin22joost will be fine, he has alot of support, eurovision however is screwed
@@MarchingDreams Oh no, Eurovision is not ruined. And your artist, whose name I have already forgotten, will only make a career in the Netherlands. Either way, his song was bad and he knew he couldn't win. And above all, he did not want to be classified after the Isarelian singer. So this exclusion suits him.
Can people please stop with politics in eurovision cuz like cmon, the whole show is unwatchable with this stuff
it's always been political and they always set up who wins
ik
It has been political from Day 1.. all the way since 54. This will just cause riots.
Said man/woman who sits in his comfy sofa and nothing to worry about
35.000
Not sure the last time I saw something like that bunch of muppets lined up to see a show
"We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards inappropriate behaviour at our event and are committed to providing a safe and secure working environment for all staff at the Contest," and how about artists who het arrashed by a female camerawoman?
Who is that employee what happened? Why is there no real comment from the EBU
It's MURDER on the dancefloor, not drama!
It's ok, he is disqualified. No worry's.
Imagine feeling 'threatened' by someone like Joost Klein... 😂😂
He cannot even kill a fly.
Exactly
Justice for Joost Klein 🧡
He looks like Balthazar Bratt from despicable me 3
Or like a younger version of Jimmy Saville.
The guy misbehaved already during the press conference. Interfering, covering his head with the Dutch flag. Show some respect and behave properly or pack your bag and go home.
He wasnt interfering. He just said that she should answer the question. The greek girl pretended to sleep, yawned and laid with her head on the table and rolled her eyes when the Israel girl was talking..
I think all of them had enough and was tired of the whole situation…..+ annoyed at how the Israel delegation behaved as I read..
@@In_my_own_mindRight, he (and the others) showed their opinion in the least disruptive way possible and should have the right to do that. Meanwhile the Israeli press (or delegation?) has been reported for harassing others and they haven't gotten into trouble.... Plus there's the vote for Israel ad thing going on, pretty sure that's against the rules.
@@ellem8990where Isreal press was harassing anyone? Stop making up bullshit! It's disgusting
Yeah he Dutch, different then the rest!
That is not why they disqualified him though…
Fancy banning Jimmy savile from the Eurovision's song contest
disqualified

@@oliversudden9162Having an opinion on Israel
@@LalaDepala_00it was confirmed that it's not related to israel
Europe let's come together ❤️
Let's not.
Cry baby
I don't think he threatened anyone. They just want an excuse to ruin his efforts for having the courage to voice his objections regarding THAT entry. They also want to make an example out of him for the rest of contestants.
He will probably be found innocent in the end but the competition will be over by then.
This 100%
Exactly - this is where the EBU is creating hostility for years to come.
Yeah
My thoughts exactly
Rubbish, the Swedish police wouldn't have been investigating him for a political comment.
This is horrible! Joost had one of the best songs and was tipped to win by many bookies! He had a great song which ended in a sad moment where he reflected on the death of his father, who died of cancer when Joost was 10. His Eurovision dream is over!
no he is a fool in real live
Playing the victim whilst intimidating a female member of staff. He was deflecting from his own behaviour.
@@sannywicca7504 doesn't matter if hes a fool in real life. this is eurovision.
Sounds like he may have been worried about a little competition from someone he doesn’t like. Sounds like he was on edge and a bit worried about his chances. Just pure speculation, but it may have a slight bit of truth behind it.
He was never going to win, but he had great odds for sure
She said the name right!!!! (Joost klein)
She calls him Joost Klain, as if he were German.
Not true
@@Kleermaker1000 lol I did not catch that
he has been disqualified.
Oui, nous le savons.
Inutile de le rappeler.
Not people being angry that Eurovision is political like it wasnt always been like that 😂😂😂 Is it your first Eurovision guys?
Must admit he looks like a young 'Jimmy Saville'
#justiceforjoost What happened to innocent before proven guilty??
Exactly what abusers want
@@kssgpv 🤣🤣🤣
why?
Seems like he has behavioral problems. Stop idolizing celebrities. His song is pretty good though, I would’ve voted for him
It never occurred to me anyone would care who’s banned or not.
What did he say?
Police have finished their investigation it has been passed over to the court. A Swedish member of the production crew reported the incident to the police. It is alleged that he punched her, we will probably have to wait for the court case for more information on whether that was it, or the incident was something else against her.
That is untrue, it's been reported there was no physical altercation.
Either tell us what actually happened or just let him participate in the final. He wanted this his whole life I can't believe he'd make a serious threat against a staff member.
He's been disqualified already according to the BBC
Pretty ironic since he was clearly upset about Israel being there
So is half of the other countries.
@@lindavisser7738That's why she's in second place and he's 10?😂
At least, she can sing. That's why she is second and he is not. For once, stop the hate.
@@liap4009 She is second (or even first) because follow the money, Israel got good relationship with media and war business.
Many do - BUT he verbally assaulted eurovision staff. Dont wash off this behaviour cuz u love him for hating on israel....
BREAKING NEWS ....😵💫
This is just a waste of his time because there's literally no evidence
JUSTICE FOR JOOSTKLEIN!
But why
he is a fool
We don't even know what happened yet
Who is going to replace him
Instead of disqualifying Joost Klein the EBU should have taken care that the camerawoman was fired because she was way out of line!
Whoa, something weird happened. What was it
Even though Im from NL and love our entry, I have to admit that Joosts behaviour during the press conference was very immature and inappropriate, and quite frankly unacceptable. It appears his behaviour off camera was even worse. If thats the case, they were right to send him home.
Where can I see that press conference?
Thanks for sharing your opinion, everyone is defending him, and from my perspective he brought shame to the Netherlands
@@Neroc2k Yess I agree if it turns out he is in the wrong when we hear the full story then its a real shame. But what they do know is nothing short of a witch hunt which I dont agree with, the only bits of info they release only makes him look bad in everyones eyes and when he could get ''proven not guilty'' in lack of better words. Just seem really weird its like a way to defame him as quickly as possible
@@vedrana1933 just search for press 'conference Joost klein Israel', and it will come up.
@@Neroc2k yes, unfortunately he did. Its embarassing.
#freejoost
😢😢😢
This has nothing to do with Israel but from the way he acted during the press conference, I am seeing a pattern of aggressive behavior and a strong urge to voice his own opinion despite the fact that he is representing his own country. Why couldn't he wait until the contest was finished and then say whatever he wanted?
He threatened a eurovision member of staff actually, nothing to do with the press conference.
@@RoxanneLavender Yes I am well aware. But how he behaved in the press conference and trying to project his ideas says a lot about himself.
@@RoxanneLavenderYou seem to be spreading misinformation without knowing what happened...
@@cyes5031700 true.. already gave a hint to the guy's attitude. acted so entitled.
Exactly and it makes every sense that he is obsessed with papa and Russia.. a typical male misogynist
He's not been found guilty until then hes innocent and should be able to perform as for Israel its not the poor girls fault in fact am sure she criticised Israel over ehat its doing but might have been best if Israel had withdrawn her tbh theres no easy way to deal with it
If it's because of the phrase "why not?", that's too much.
He was also protesting instead of doing rehersals..
Not too much. Bullying a contestant is not okay.
@carlomontecarlo7881 it's not about a contestant. that's confirmed by EBU and Netherlands broadcaster
It has nothing to do with Israel as they already announced, stop spreading baseless allegations
No, he attacked a SWEDISH crew member.
Nikkie, do not give pointts please
She just announced she won’t ‼️
The fact that Joost Klein will not be allowed to perform tonight is incomprehensible. He's not allowed to participate due to supposedly “unacceptable facts”, facts they don't even want to share with us. Meanwhile, the EBU lets a country that is killing thousands of people participate, talk about justice. I hope Joost knows he has made everyone smile and proud, especially his parents. Let the man perform again next year !
His parents are not alive anymore.
@@user-d32658 they're smiling in heaven or where ever they are now i suppose

No
Accused by a female Swedish employee of inappropriate behavior. Isn't Sweden that European Muslim country in the making? and the Netherlands, where the right won the elections. It's just a thought.❤️🇳🇱❤️🇳🇱❤️🇮🇱
Good point
Petra Mede made a threatening gesture towards the camera...😵
Mister Österdahl thought she was Timothea Triangl 🤭
Oh no
I am Dutch and I couldn’t care less.
When did Israel become part of Europe? Last time I looked it was located in the middle east as part of the asian continent.
Australia is a little further away.
it has somethig to do with the bet, he was given at 50 ! I bet no him €50 and I would have won €2500..... it's a lot for this kind of bets
A lady filmed him repeatedly with her phone in a no-camera restricted environment and he made a "threatening movement" towards her phone so he wouldn't be on camera. He didn't touch her.
Against clear agreements, Joost was filmed when he had just gotten off stage and had to rush to the green room," reports AVROTROS.
"At that moment, Joost repeatedly indicated that he did not want to be filmed.
This was not responded to.
This led to a threatening movement from Joost towards the camera.
Joost didn't touch the camera woman."
OMG, a possibly hateful thought maliciously kept in secret :/
Perhaps the whole situation might have something in common with a certain nation that had been exiled from almost every country in Europe during last 1000 years ;)

Just a freak show now, time to dump it.
it's ridiculous as Israel will now win for sure and the competition will be political once again.After Ukraine winning expect Israel triumph.
